What an awesome day at Wings and Wheels in Tokoroa today! ✈️🚗

A huge shoutout to the South Waikato District Council for putting on such a fantastic community event. It was great to see so many people out enjoying the displays, the atmosphere, and everything the day had to offer.

We were proud to be a part of it and loved being involved in such a well-run event. Looking forward to the next one already! 👏

🚛 Big day for SHL!

Pretty special moment handing over the keys to our first Kenworth K220 “Waymores Blues” to John Burgess. Couldn’t think of a better bloke for it — well deserved mate 👏

Huge thanks to the crew at Kraft for the awesome setup and trailer build, Wrapped Auto Signs for making it look the part, and especially Adam Mcintosh and the Southpac team for pulling it all together.

Stoked with how this one’s turned out. Cheers to everyone involved — and to John, enjoy the new ride! 💪🔥

Check out these couple of “Living Legends”!

Trevor has been with the company for 35 years next month, so we thought it was only fitting to celebrate with a new truck on the road.

Many thanks to Adam and the team at Southpac for supplying the Kenworth T610, and to James and the team at Kraft Engineering for producing the truck setup and trailer with Hydraulic Layover Bolsters and Trinder Chain Throwers all done by remote control to make Trevor’s life a little easier each load!

We couldn’t put these units together without everyone involved & to have them rolling out like they do – many thanks to you all

Enjoy “Living Legend” Plumly
